Crap that's over 10M of dead cap space.



- Scabeh

with Price on LTIR, Habs are good cap space wise for next season. It could be a bit tight with Caufield extension and the trade for Dubois and his next contract. RHP shouldn't be too expensive, I am expecting 1.5M/yr for 3yrs.

7.5M for Caufield
7.5M for Dubois
1.5M for RHP

stats don't back that up though. Best seasons are 63, 61 and 60pts.

8yrs @7.5M, 60M....and he gets to play with MTL like he wants, gets to play with Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf, Fantilli, Dach...

unless he really wants to play in MTL and understands he can't be so selfish if he wants to be part of a winning team and have money left to spend on other players...

I've been told he single handedly defeated Matthews and is the bestest player evor. How could he not get 9?

Who is neutering Matthews with the Panthers?

I am starting to think Matthews does not need someone to defeat him in the playoffs, he does it himself.

There's no denying his talent, every time he has the puck, he's dangerous.

But you can certainly question his capacity to raise the level of his game to match the intensity of the playoffs.

I see Rielly, Nylander, Marner give everything they have out there. Too many shifts where Matthews isn't involved in the play.

Not sure what you're watching but that error aside, Matthews has been great. Just isn't shooting it as well as he did last year. I think when it's all said and done we're going to find out he's needed wrist surgery most of the year. Barkov has been very good defensively this playoffs...not so much offense though. Letting Tka(frank) and Verhaege seems to have allowed them to get the easier matchups.

So the Habs have 1.7M in bonus that will go against the cap next season....and it is the last year the Alzner buyout will count at 833K. That's 2.5M in lost cap space.

Better now then when they need it down the road.

Not worth a $9M cap hit, I'd be surprised if someone actually gave it to him.

no no, 70 is nice. it's just a harbinger of horrible things to come.

one nice thing about spring is a very dumb bird has made a nest right by my window and right outside my door. real low, where you can see it. so soon i will have baby birds.

A squirrel had babies in a nest in a tree right behind our house, right in front of our living room window, like 30 feet away. Yesterday, a crow decided it was lunch time. Needless to say, the babies are gone and the squirrel mother has left the nest since

It was a black on black crime, black squirrel and black crow.

Great news and experience for Barron.

But really? That's all Canada could find?
